Fourth installment: Platform on strengthening of accountability, such as through effective functioning of the Commission on Audit, the Office of the Ombudsman, internal audit offices, monitoring and evaluation, merit-based bureaucracy, grievance and complaint mechanism, participatory audit and other checks and balances
We pooled information on the anti-corruption track record and agenda of political parties participating in the first-ever BARMM parliamentary elections as part of our Making Elections an Accountability Platform - MEAP BARMM.
The information can hopefully serve as one of the bases for the people of BARMM to decide on which parties can best address corruption. It does not yet include extensively the actual track record of the parties and their candidates, which we highly recommend BARMM voters to take into consideration too.
May this also serve as a reference in further engaging the BARMM political parties this election and beyond in the fight against corruption and in advancing transparency, participation and accountability in BARMM governance.
We will have five posts on this today:
1. Introduction.
2. Platform on transparency, mechanisms or access to information.
3. Platform on meaningful citizen participation.
4. Platform on strengthening of accountability, such as through effective functioning of the Commission on Audit, the Office of the Ombudsman, internal audit offices, monitoring and evaluation, merit-based bureaucracy, grievance and complaint mechanism, participatory audit and other checks and balances.
5. General anti-corruption platform and measures and others that may be described as anti-corruption agenda.
